Default New engine mounts broke during install!!

While tighteningthebig nut (13/16)that goes on theBolt that protrudes from the enginemount, thebolt broke looseinside themount. When I turn the big nut thebolt justrotates inside mount, so I can not loosen or tighten the nut. Does anyone know of a way to chisel the nut off.

air chisle that b!itch off. either that or clamp the bolt if you can get ahold of it and loosin the nut as much as possible. get pics up if you can it might make it easier to give you better suggestions.

Cut a groove in the end of the bolt so you can hold it with a straight screw driver and turn the nut off.

There is about 1/8 spacing behind one nut and less on the other....so it would be hard toclamp bolt. One nut is theaded on so the bolt endis flush with the top of the nut(not protruding out of nut). The other bolt endis onlythreaded only half way into the nut.

I got the mounts a Checker...there cheap but would not of broke if I didn't force nut on. I went to auto zone and got some mounts and there the same as the checker ones. I would get poly mounts, just don't have 200.00. I thinking of a chisel and a sludge hammer or some kind of saw.
